Who is Zombie Ed? Zombie Ed and his wife Sammy founded Terror4fun in 2004, in which time he has collected over 400 zombie films, publishes the Worlds only regular zombie e-zine ‘The Zombie Times' which as of 2013 is being sent to over 14,000 subscribers 6 times a year. He is also the Festival Director of ‘The UK Festival of Zombie Culture,' held annually in Leicester, now in its 7th year and he is also the organiser of ‘Zombie Fest', which is a ‘celebration of all things zombie.'
When NOT Being a Zombie... Ed is a teacher and Casualty Simulation Make Up Artist with the NHS. He lives with his long suffering wife, Sammy and their two kids... Who are unfortunately for him not called Shaun (of the Dead) and Dawn (of the Dead.)
Terror4fun Focuses on... Promoting all (not just Terror4fun) zombie events and zombiewalks, encouraging make up artists and supporting independent zombie film productions throughout the world. Terror4fun has raised money for charity every year by getting donations for make up artists to turn people into zombies or playing big screen zombie video games at our various events. We have raised money for Multiple Sclerosis, MacMillan Cancer Nurses, Help for Heroes and the NSPCC.
